The Belfast Community Gospel Choir raised the roof of the Waterfront on Saturday (01 June) as the 95 members took to the stage with their hotly anticipated show ‘Aint no Stoppin’ us Now!’
Guests, who included First Minister Peter Robinson, attended a VIP reception at the interval to the show where they enjoyed delicious canapés and pints of Guinness and glasses of Champagne supplied by drinks sponsor Diageo. Formed in 2009, the Belfast Community Gospel Choir, led by the contagiously charismatic founder and director Marie Lacey, have been sharing the power of soul and energising fans across the country and further afield for almost 4 years now.
Marie has been overwhelmed by the journey that the choir have travelled and is really excited for what the future holds especially when it includes this rare opportunity at the Waterfront Hall to hear all 95 voices under one roof. She comments: “My dream was to create a choir that, through unity, would spread the message of love, joy and peace and promote a positive image of Northern Ireland internationally. I am absolutely thrilled by the turnout of the crowd tonight and was delighted to bring our full choir, backed by an 11-piece soul band, to the surrounds of the Waterfront Hall.”
